When William Faulkner wrote 'As I Lay Dying', we can be assured he never imagined it as a play. The story, told from the perspective of 59 different characters presents a real narrative problem when taken off of the page. Because of this, there have been no prior attempts to take a book that is considered by many an American classic and turn it into a film. Enter James Franco. In an audacious though problematic attempt, Franco tries to film the unfilmable in a film that doesn't reach it's goal, but still has to be admired for the effort.
